Or just updated Lorien plastics?

Honestly, i'd rather see the hideous plastic wood elves redone before any of the other units/characters.

I know I'm jumping the gun pronouncing these plastic before we actually know. No doubt in a week or two's time when they're revealed as FW, i'll look quite foolish.

The Wood Elves are part of Lorien, it's implied.

I know these are 99% a FW two pack, but there is something about them that seems plastic to me. Can't quite say why though.

It's the swords for me, they don't have the traditional LARP foam look of FW resin (from these angles at least)

Among all the space marine garbage, bears!

Which was certainly faster than expected.

They will be expensive for sure. But at least you don't need many miniatures to build a force.

Man, the more I look at those Beornings, the more I like em. Gonna be hard to pass up getting a few sets.

Yea, they look awesome in a very understated way. Will also be tempted to get some. I hope they come with some different arm options though.

Each blister comes with option to build the figures with bow or axe.

Even with those options, a whole force of Beornings is going to have a bit of "Attack of the Clones" syndrome. That said, at least the models are cool.

The arm proportions are off, but maybe fireforge 'Folk Rabble' would mix in well? https://fireforge-games.com/northern-kingdom/370-folk-rabble.html

To be fair, they're not meant to be a full 'force' so to speak. More like a complimentary unit to a bigger ally or a very small skirmishing force.

Bears are up:

Grimbeorn's a touch more than i thought he would be, but the Beornings are cheaper than i thought they would be. So i guess it balances out. Grim and 4 packs Beornings for myself.

Ooh. Those are even better then I imagined. Grimbeorn's a touch expensive, but no shock there.

The Beornings though, damn those are nice. Bow/axe and 2 heads per person is nice. Gives you enough variety. Kind of a shame they don't come with quivers though.

When you get your hands on them, can you throw up a picture of the parts please? I'm interested to see how interchangeable the heads and arms are between bodies. That would give some real potential for a varied force even with even so few bodies.

Sure, no problem.

Might be something, might well nothing, but the wood elf warriors and wood elf command now have the word LOTHLÓRIEN added to their names on the store page.

Have something to do with the upcoming elf releases one has to imagine.

That's definitely interesting...maybe it's to differentiate them from Mirkwood more?

Interesting:

Wild speculation time, plastic Faramir on the horizon and possible supplement focused around Harad or possibly Numenor's subjugation and occupation of Harad?

*whoops, what i get for having too many tabs open

Did you mean to post the rotation article?

But yep. It's definitely interesting. I'm excited for the heckin' Blackroot Vale Command to show back up.

Mahûd!! Mahûd are back!! Bout bloody time.

Most games are improved by the addition of camels - naval games and dogfighting games being notable exceptions.

plastic faramir? As a ranger, or all armored up? (fingers crossed for all armored up. or some kind of all armored up Gondorian or Numenorian leader type all armored up)

I see what you did there! Have an exalt!

I'm also pretty stoked about them bringing back the Far Harad range. I shudder to think of the cost, but I might just have to build myself a proper army of them. I don't know why, but the idea of charging in with a bunch of honest-to-Eru camels makes me smile.

Around the time when GW rebooted Lotr & Hobbith with Middle Earth, there was talk about a "2nd Age" suppliment.

Yeah and with the upcoming Amazon series a 2nd Age supplement would make sense

If GW does that, then there are multiple people around here who will need to eat their hats for how insistent they were that such a thing would never happen.

Dedicated Middle-Earth preview show on Saturday. Didn't see that coming.

Interesting they've said they have nothing official tied to the Amazon show, but we have to assume they'll be doing something to capitalise on it.

Interesting, but god i hope it's nothing to do with the show.

Sweet! Maybe that new osgiliath box set that was rumoured? Or a new Last Aliiance source book to pick up on the interest from RoP?
